Keep up the great blog! I’m really enjoying your varied styles and reviews. I feel like our feet and preferences seem similar so I’ll let you review before I buy haha!
I have the Xeroshoes Vienna and I like a lot of things about them but your Vivo Fulham is definitely sleeker! The Vienna is very comfortable but made of canvas (as opposed to leather) and the medial area of the canvas next to my arch puffs out way more than necessary. It really plays up the ‘clown shoe’ look and makes the rear end of the shoe too wide. I love them but part of me wishes I’d tried the Vivos as I’m a leather gal and prefer a sleek look. That said the elastic opening is A+, the toe box is great, they added a toe cap, and I love how much ankle freedom I have.
Thanks so much for this info! I am also a leather girl and always go for sleek. BUT, you can’t beat comfort. I’m sure this info will be helpful to other readers, so thanks again!
So happy to find this list! I found the Vienna too narrow, and I’ve had several pairs of Vivos wear out in the soles after one season- their women’s can also be too narrow for me. Will check out some of the other options on this list!
Thank you for your thorough reviews! These are so helpful!
I just tried out the Camper Right Nina (bootie) and it was intriguing, but it looked and felt too much like a sock and not enough like a shoe. It was so small I couldn’t even put it on when I was wearing thin socks.
I just ordered some Davinci boots to try, and I’m hoping that they’ll work better!
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Anya
Your blog is so helpful, thanks for the thorough reviews.
Have you heard of Freet Mudees? Or have interest in reviewing them? They look quite promising and wide as well.
Hello and thank you! I have heard of Freet Mudees but I don’t have any current plans to review them. I do know that Mel from Bare Steps has them and loves them. She might have a review on her site.
